http...I wanted to post the link to Rob&#39;s blog:<br /><br />http://www.schuylersmonsterblog.com/<br /><br />I was saddened to see that Schuyler has begun to have the early signs of absence seizures, a specter which has been stalking their lives for many years, as it is almost a given in children with Schuyler&#39;s diagnosis.<br /><br />Rob&#39;s blog, like his book, is honest and pulls no punches. By the end of the book I cared so much for all of them that a million &quot;How are they doing now?&quot; questions plagued me. I stayed up way to late last night reading his blog and answering my questions.Carehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09961257179484971447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198077335403391790.post-69180543872549466912011-03-09T09:57:21.989-09:002011-03-09T09:57:21.989-09:00Excellent, thoughtful, and well written review.Excellent, thoughtful, and well written review.Jennifer O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13100739867096774153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198077335403391790.post-73778995667556078612011-03-09T09:01:18.353-09:002011-03-09T09:01:18.353-09:00Christine, as I put more thought into my reading o...Christine, as I put more thought into my reading of Rob&#39;s prose, I realized that he absolutely needed to write the book as he did. In the beginning, I had a kind of &quot;Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know all that stuff-let&#39;s get to Schuyler&quot; feeling, because as my Winter&#39;s mother I had been there. However, I know that (fortunately) only a very small segment of the reading public would feel as I did. I have his book tagged as both autobiography and biography; as you said, the two are intertwined.<br /><br />I am grateful for Rob&#39;s blog, as it will allow me to follow their continuing journey with their strong and beautiful daughter.Carehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09961257179484971447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198077335403391790.post-41587276810692062632011-03-09T04:24:29.670-09:002011-03-09T04:24:29.670-09:00Rob posted your link in his facebook profile.

I would like to point out the subtitle of the book is &quot;A Father&#39;s Journey...&quot; so it is his autobiography, on top of or dove tailed to Schuyler&#39;s story. The two are intertwined in ways that cannot be undone. <br /><br />Thank you for this review, well stated. And I&#39;m glad Rob linked to you -- I am interested in learning more about your experiences with Winter and in Alaska. Nice to meet you.christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781551364340088590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198077335403391790.post-14119009891489459342011-03-09T02:01:07.470-09:002011-03-09T02:01:07.470-09:00Wow, I love that you put so much emotion into this...Wow, I love that you put so much emotion into this review! I used to be an Asst. Teacher for Sp. Ed. I worked with severely handicapped children, I loved it!! Finally after 15 yrs. I had to give it up, it was not fun anymore, I was burned out. I know that as parents you can not simply give it up for another job, I commend you!<br />I don&#39;t know if I would like this book or not, but I will add it to my list to explore.<br />Thanks for the great review!Wall-to-wall bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866065085086660318noreply@blogger.com
